I like this piece. Good composition; good lighting; soft colors; the form and shading are good; good job on the shadow on the bottom; pleasant to look at; thanks for sharing.

This is quite unique in its own special way....and that it is digital....my o my....
After studying it for a little while I am still a little perplexed at the size of the two cherries versus the vase and the flower within the vase. I assume you did this on purpose....matching perhaps the size of the two cherries to the roundness and size of he bottom of the vase itself....full rounded objects same size and then the two cherry stems must have a similarity to the neck of the vase....that is it....isn't it? The longer I look and type, the more clearer this digital art becomes to me....Rather ingenious actually.....NOW I totally understand where you are coming from with this particular art....YES...I LOVE IT....I understand it.....I see what you are showing....and I also see the wonderful reflections of the three rounded items on the sheer table they are placed on.
The simple flowers displayed on the back wall and the slight shadows behind and towards the right of the canvas....pinkish/lavender shadows created by the vase and perhaps other things that we do not directly see on the canvas in front of us.....
the wall taking the colors of the flower and the mirrored table taking on the colors of the cherries....
VERY CLEVER-FILLED THOUGHT OUT WORK OF ART.
Thanks for sharing....what talent you have here displayed......BRAVO!!! I salute you.

This still life has winning chances in my opinion. It is gorgeous. How the light is used is impressive. It emphasizes the flower especially, but lend emphasis to the other objects as well. The flower looks natural, nevertheless, it seems to have little hearts on top the pistils. The smoky glass of the vase catches the light, but does not give view of the inside of the vase. The cherries look most realistic, while shadow leaves illuminate the background. The reflection of only the circular shapes is as intriguing.

A great and nicely composed piece of still life here, showing the cherries and vase in good proportion and detail, with lovely purple and red colours, with the lighting effect showing some parts vivid and lively and others more shaded and subdued. A nice pink background with flowers contrast well and top it off nicely, a great piece - best of luck in the competition! :)

Beautiful digital art..I like it! The entire composition is feminine and pretty...especially with the lovely wall paper effect.

But you have added drama with your play of light and shadows moving into those deeper colors on the red cherries and reflecting in that mahogany colored surface. Quite lovely! A strong contender! Best of luck!

I think this is a lovely still life, but that vase must be really tiny, and the flower as well. It offers a nice background for the two cherries thought. I especially like the flower pattern you have added to the background, and how lovely the light is falling in from the left.

This is done paying very good attention to details, and I also like the color pallet and the fine shine you have brought out in the cherries.

The framing and format works well and I think everything has got a fine placement on the canvas. A truly lovely and well done digital painting, and wish you luck with the contest.

    Thank you, Annie. I have some tiny bottles and vases, so I thought, why not... something different. :o)

    It is for sure different, so as you say, why not. You are more than welcome for the review.
